Winger Restaurant — Restaurant in Westmont

I was skeptical of the reviews for this restaurant on Yelp, but after trying it out, I am a believer! They said that the food here is comparable to the Chinese restaurants found in LA and Asia, they weren't wrong!!

You know this restaurant is an authentic Chinese restaurant when the comes out super fast. Also looking at their food photos, you can see that the noodles and meats have beautiful charred edges, and when tasting the meats or tofu we enjoyed a wonderfully fried dish with crispy shells, welcoming you to enjoy the succulent interior! With these details, you can tell the wok skill of the chef, a real shifu!

The salt and spicy Japanese tofu was a really great dish! The tofu was fried extremely well and had crispy exteriors. The combination with green chili and onions gives it multiple layers of flavors, spiciness, sweetness, and saltiness. Excellent dish!

The Peking style pork chop has all that one expects of it and is executed to perfection. The flavors were balanced and delicious, and the pork is fried to absolute perfection. Once again, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This highlights the skill of the chef and the adequate fire from the wok!

The beef Chow Mien was so good. The thin egg noodles are deep fried first to make it crispy and more it's charred edges! Then the beef with gravy is poured in top to make it softer. Personally I like a mixture of crispy and soft to give it texture.

I am so surprised why this place does not have more reviews because it definitely should be a favorite of all who loves great Chinese food, Cantonese cuisine to be exact! This place may not have the best location, but I will make my way out here anytime... The selfish part of me want this place to remain anonymous as if demand goes up, price too :-p But, what the heck, this restaurant is to good to be hidden; they worked and worked on their craft, they deserve attention!

Honestly, this restaurant makes food that matches great restaurant in Asia without the atmosphere,...

I arrived at 6:53 and asked for a table for two. The woman at the front immediately looks at the clock before dismissively gesturing to the dining area. I readily order an appetizer, knowing my friend is on her way. My friend arrives at 7:01 and we are ready to order by 7:10. The woman grumbles about them closing at 8pm. Mind you, we have already sat down, started eating the app, and are trying to order our meal 50 minutes before she says they close, an hour and 20 minutes before google and the sign on the door say they’re closed. Sensing her attitude and not wanting to continue suffering such poor service, my friend and I offer to leave. The woman agrees, almost ushering us out. On the way out, I take a picture of the hours posted on the door and ask her if she really felt she couldn’t serve us in the next hour. She starts getting loud and raising her temper, talking about needing to clean up by 8pm etc etc. but there is NOWEHERE that says the place closes at 8pm.

Consumers beware, if you’re looking for a bite here less than two hours before their posted hours, get ready for poor service, an attitude, and possibly some unwanted ingredients in your food. We will not be...

The interior of this spot looks like it's been preserved since the 70s maybe 80s, but that aside the food is the best I've found so far in the western suburbs. On our recent visit, we tried the Japanese fried tofu which was crispy, salty, spicy on the outside, and piping hot on the inside. Bangin'. Also did an order of clams in black bean sauce. Solid, but preference would be some sort of white fish (there's always next time). Beef chow fun was pretty good. Lastly, the green string beans were perfection. From the exterior, this place isn't much to look at, but the food and service were great. I see many more visits in the near future and possible an upgrade to 5 stars as I get more acquainted with the food.

'Til next...
